Pokémon Perfect is a XenForo forum centred around competitive play. It was initially founded by Lutra as a [[Generation I]]-focused [[tier]]ing website as an answer to [[Smogon]] and [[Pokémon Online]]'s lack of support for the generation at the time. It succeeded [[RBY 2k10]] after its activity dipped significantly. It eventually grew to accommodate tiers for generations up to [[Generation VI|VI]], identifying it as an old generation-centric website, being one of few to make headway. Pokémon Perfect is notable among old-gen competitive players for its high-level tournaments, with its prestige often being held at levels akin to Smogon's. | Pokémon Perfect is a XenForo forum centred around competitive play.

Pokémon Perfect has frequently been associated with Smogon, mainly for its tournament prestige. This first arose in a suspect test regarding {{m|Counter}} in [[Generation I]] OverUsed, where numerous competitors were forcibly expelled from voting due to their only qualifications being from off-site tournaments,<ref>[https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/rby-counter.3659041/post-8499014 RBY Counter Suspect Test Incident]</ref> which resulted in controversy due to a lack of tournaments on Smogon to make for a suspect test in-touch with the community.
